Tokens OF Esteem, M,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Indescrib
tender are the sentiments which have
come to Mrs. Logan in the first hours
OF her widowhood. They are, in the
shape of notes and letters from per-
sonal friends of her late husband and
herself, in all walks of life and all parts
OF the land. This has been kept under
her own personal guardianship, her
first thought being that only in her
own stricken heart and in those of
her children could such words
find appreciation. Now, however,
when she has learned how fully
the sorrow is felt by all the
nation, she has listened to the counsel
OF her family and nearest friends, and
has surrendered them to be gathered
with the thousands of kilograms into a
memorial volume, as witness of the
fame and honor accorded to her hus-
band by the public as well as the love
and esteem with which he filled the
hearts of those who knew him best.
Among the earliest of the letters re-
ceived were the following:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, Washington.
My DEAR Mrs. LOGAN: We are
greatly shocked to near of the terrible
grief which comes to you SO suddenly.
Words are but poor comforters in
tlouble like this, but we wish you to
know our hearts are filled with the
deepest sympathy tor you. My hus-
band, who is ill in bed, joins me most
earnestly IN my message of coincidence,
and begs me to say that added to his
sympathy in your great affliction is his
own grief at the loss of an honored and
esteemed friend. In deepest sympathy,

The National Grange.

As we 90 to press, the twenty-irst an
nual scssnion of the National Grange is
in session in Lansing, Mich 1t meets
under the most favorable auspices. The
Governor of the State, Cyrus &. Luce, is,
and has been for several years at the
head of the Grange in his State. In the
matter of organiza ion substantial pro-
gress has been made. Nearly twice as
many new oranges have been instituted
as in last year, or in any one year for
many years past. Hundreds of oranges
in all parts of the country have been re-
organized Rhode Island, the only State
in the Union that never had Il grange,
comes to the front with nearly every
township organized. In matters of legis'
lation, much progress has been made.
| The work of the grange in the direction
of railroad control has been crowned
with success, and the Interstate Com
merce law has come to stay Laws,
State and National, controlling the sale
of adulterated dairy products, have been
passed, and sustained. Efforts to remove
| the tariffs on farmers raw materials,
and leave existing high tariffs on manu-
featured goods, have been defeated; Tax
reform bills have been passed Better
men in all parties have been elected tc
office. The great temperance cause has
been advanced and in thousands of ways
in thousands of ncighborhoods, the bust
ness, social aud educational interests OF
the farmer, and all his friends, has beer
advanced. In no one year since its birth
twenty-one years ago, can the Grange
point to so many and such great practical
results, and it comes to its years of man
hood, its majority, flushed with success,

Monopolies.

State Lecturer Thing gives some strong
points in the Eastern Farmer which We
are glad to copy. He says LET us keep
right on in the way of our duty, work tG
build up the Grange, to strengthen the
farmer, to educate him in all that helps
to develop his manhood to help II III to
help himself. Let us la or to break down
monopolies, crush out corners" driy,
out trusts and let the peoples meat and
bread 90 to feed the hungry, with moth
ing but supply and demand to effect the
price Let us demand of State and Ma
tional Legislatures Just what we are en-
titled to, and don't let us be put oil with
less.
Let us have the Department of Agri-
culture elevated, the tax laws made equal
and such penalty for eyasions affixed to
IL, that no one can for n moment dream
of dsregardng its requirements. Let us
demand that the law makes it INSIDE
meano to sell in the State, or offer To sell,
seeds without the year In which they
were grown printed upon the package.
When we get all the above let US demand
government control or ownership of
telegraphs and of passenger traffic on all
rail roads, and then let us take hold of
politics so far as to demand equal pro-
lection to farmers, with other men and
other business.
Bro Thing is bold and aggressive In
his nature and says brave things. To
gain the above points will require years of
constant drill and hardwork We believe
it can be done and that the Grange is
equal to the occasion. And we believe
also that all classes would be benefited
by having full and complete justice done.
If we didn't believe it we wouldn en-
dorse what Bro. Thing has so well said.

Why a Farmer Should be a Patron

\ farmer should be "A Patron because it
Is for him what the Merchants Exchange
and Board of Trade are for the business
men; what the National, State and local
legal associations are for the lawyers :;
what the National, State and local medi-
cal societies are for hedoctors; what the
workingmens associations are for the
mechanic and the laboring man what the
ministerial and preachers associations
are for the preachers; what the teachers
/ Institutes are for the teachers. 1t Is for
the farmer what every other profession,
/ trade and calling have long since had in
| their organizations for mu ual benefit,
| help and interest. All others have seen
the advantages coming from organized
aud united effort, and have prottcd by 1t,
excep. farmers.
Twenty years ago the Grange was
started, and it has grown, spread aud
prospercd because it is right, founded ON
| Justice and truth, because many farmers
for years had felt the need of it, realized
their isolated position and helplcSSneSs
against other well-organized classes and
callings, who, through organization, were
advancing their own interests and leaving
the farmer in the background. So Tho
farmer needs the Grange, because OF thu
help it, union of strength will give him
even rs all others have been helped in The
same way through united effort. 1t ap
plies aS much to the farmer as To al
other classes in thc>c days. United We
stand, divided we fall
Farmers will commit AN unpardonabl'
sin against their calling, If they fail t.
see that all other interests are organizln!
in their interests and that for self pro
lection they, too, must organize. or b
trodden under foot. Farmers should no
make mistake in this particular, for tn
signs of the times are SO plain that al
must see. The Grange stands ready T.
welcome all.
The grindest and noble~t work of tn
. Grange is the educating and elevating %
the farmer and the farming class. Read
